That series has already been on once.... A few of them are ok... The mechanic is pretty good

Already watched them all on torrent download, most are good with some interesting technical pieces. Do not like the silly third spoiler on the Escort Cosworth, what a ridiculous way to ruin a classic! Oh and Ant is trying way too hard with the personality, don’t know why he can’t just be himself like in For The Love of Cars!

Didn't realise that, thought there was a long gap after the announcement about Ant.
Will record series this time round.

Is the one on Discovery, new series? As it shows Edd and Sunbeam Alpine!!!

Watched the Cosworth one and Ant was okay and the format hasn't really changed

Mate it’s great if you like seeing old cars being renovated, whilst also learning a bit about the car and some interesting mechanics techniques. It’s also quite naff in some ways, poor scripted jokes, Mike’s irritating persona etc. but I love it, watched some episodes twice for some of the more interesting ones like e type, lambo urraco, noble m12 and lots of the american muscle cars.

davyk31 · 01-02-2018, 01:53 AM

It is much better than it used to be but still Mike is very cheesy. Years ago Ed botched many repairs with fibreglass, isopon and very poor spray can repairs. Now it’s a bit more professional as the standard of cars has improved.

XK140 · 01-02-2018, 04:16 AM

It's always been a must watch programme for petrolheads,and it's evolved over the years,at the start it was cheap repairs to low end stuff but the budgets have increased to tackle more ambitious restorations.

.Edd has always been brilliant,Mike you tolerate just about.

Going to the US was the start of it going downhill and now Edd has left I may not watch it any longer.

I caught the last bit of the Cossie episode last night,full of fake enthusiasm and self congratulation,and that wing!!!...whatever you think of the looks it missed the basic point that it's a road car not a track car,so being able to actually see out of the back window seems a lot more important than a bit more downforce.

pmgreenwood · 01-02-2018, 04:41 AM

I was pleasantly surprised by the 1st episode of series 14. I thought the format had survived the loss of ED far better than I had expected.

The new series does look a bit short on episodes but some interesting cars.

Looking forward to the SAAB 96 episode as that was my parent's car when I passed my driving test.
